Duchess of Devonshire

Sunday, October 4, 2009

At the Seattle screening of The Duchess, starring Keira Knightley, Rob and Kate won a gift certificate for two nights at the Villa Marco Polo Inn, with the assurance "to be treated like the Duchess herself."

Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, born in 1757, was a celebrated beauty who was active in literary as well as political circles. It is rumoured that during her political campaigning, she would trade a kiss for a vote! The Duchess had a full and glamourous (and scandalous) life.

We couldn't offer Rob and Kate quite the world that the Duchess rocked, but we did pamper them amid the elegance of the Villa!
